In a video shared by journalists, smoke can be seen coming out of the destroyed buildings. At the same time, huge pits can be seen in many areas of the capital due to missile attack. The bombing of the famous Glass Bridge in the heart of the city can be seen in one of the videos shared by Ilya Ponomarenko, a freelance journalist from Kyiv. These scenes are scary. It is clear from these how horrific and fear-inducing was the attack.

Similarly another clip, currently tweeted by Matthew Luxmoor, a reporter for the Wall Street Journal in Ukraine. It depicts the devastation in the Shevchenko Park in central Kyiv. The journalist explains in his caption that the park is the city’s “busiest park, usually full of people and musicians”. A large crater, burnt branches and smoke are visible in the video. In the background, a enclosure with various children’s rides can be seen. The painful scars of war can be seen here.

Another video shared by Laxmoor and many others is also terrifying. In this, only the girl shooting the video narrowly survives the bombing. Amidst the bombing on the streets, the girl is shooting a video, that a missile falls just close to her. The fear on the girl’s face, her screams and the whole scene is scary. Shocked by the blasts, the girl somehow starts walking again and reflects on the devastation and horror caused by the explosions.
